Shining Numbers: Most Productive Spring in 10 Years

Ghent, May 2, 2025 – This spring has kicked off with exceptional sunshine. With 248 hours of sun in April and 199 in March, we’re seeing the sunniest start to the season in at least a decade. And all that solar energy has powered an unprecedented boost in solar production across Belgium.

At EnergyVision, we’re seeing it clearly in our numbers. Solar irradiation during the first four months of the year reached 315.4 kWh per square meter — the highest figure in ten years. Solar panels performed exceptionally well, with an average yield of 242 kWh per installed kilowatt-peak (kWp), compared to 187 kWh during the same period last year — a 29% increase. In April alone, panels produced 114 kWh per kWp, up 36% compared to April 2024.

“If this trend continues, we’re on track for the best first half of the year ever for solar energy in Belgium,” says Maarten Michielssens, CEO of EnergyVision. “We’re seeing strong sunshine and strong performance — and our customers are seeing that too on their energy bills.”

Lots of sun, but what about excess energy?

Thanks to all that sunshine, solar panel owners can once again cover a big share of their energy needs themselves — at zero cost. But what happens to the electricity you generate but don’t use right away?

During high production periods like summer, the market price for injected electricity can actually turn negative. That means you’d have to pay to put electricity on the grid.

Not with EnergyVision.

We fully cover the injection — whether the market price is positive or negative. If we installed your solar panels, we take care of your grid injection too. Are you a customer with your own solar panels and an energy contract with us? You’re also safe: our injection fee never drops below zero. Your solar power always has value.

Energy that pays, without the surprises

Solar panels are more profitable than ever. By matching your usage smartly to your production, and by choosing a reliable partner like EnergyVision, you’ll get the most out of your system. No worries about negative injection prices. And a guaranteed return — all year long.
